Actually, they are different many ways, for example, in vocabulary, _______, spelling and pronunciation. It is interesting that the British drive cars along while people on the other side of the Atlantic drive _______ down freeways. Last time when I was in America, my friend Tom asked me, “Could you e over for the party on the weekend?” I felt it strange, because I usually say “_______ the weekend”, and my Chinese teacher of English very often told that we should never make mistakes in _______. Tom also said, “Do you have a Chinese history book?” That was different from my “Have you a Chinese history book?” Now I don’t think it is _______ at all. It is natural. However, don’t worry _______ it. After all, British English is English, and American English is English too. They are _______ to each other in so many ways. The most important thing is that more and more _______ are making it easier and easier for people from both sides to understand each other.2. Ask the students how they usually get the meaning of new words in a new passage.Step 2Vocabulary1. Time limit: Give the students a time limit of five minutes for vocabulary enquiry, whether this involves dictionary use, language corpus searches, or questions to the teacher.2. Meaning consensus: Get the students to work together to search for and find word meanings. (To start the procedure, ask individual students to write down three to five words from the text they most want to know the meaning of. When they have each done this, they share their list with another student and e up with a new joint list of only five words. This means they would probably have to discuss which words to leave out. Two pairs join to make new groups of four and once again they have to pool their lists and end up with only five words.) 3. Present ways to find out word meanings from clues provided by context:1) Some sentences give the definition for a difficult word with the help of punctuation such as mas, dashes or parentheses.eg：You find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different accents—American, British, Australian, and even Spanish. (the meaning of “accent” can be easily guessed)2) Context sometimes gives examples to illustrate a difficult word rather than define it. We can use the examples to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. eg: Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be confusing. Chips, for example, are pieces of … (We can get understand the word “confusing” with the help of the following sentence easily.) The British use prepositions where Americans sometimes omit them. (From examples before this sentence we get the meaning of “omit”.)3) Synonyms are words or phrases that are similar in meaning. A synonym is one type of context clue that helps you to determine the meanings of unfamiliar words. eg: Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas。 the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol. (automobiles amp。 cars, freeways amp。 motorways, gas amp。 petrol)4) Antonyms are words or phrases that have opposite meanings to other words or phrases. Antonym clues can help you understand new words. Page 1 activity 1. Questions 2 and 3. ( If we know the meaning of “optimistic”, then “pessimistic” is easily to understand.)5) Sentences before or after a sentence that has a difficult word sometimes explain the meaning of the word. eg: There are going to be many “Englishes”, not just two main varieties. ( From this sentence we know that “varieties” here refers to “Englishes” )6) Sometimes we can use our own experiences, or our knowledge about a certain topic, to find out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. 7) Word part clues. We can often figure out an unfamiliar word because we know the prefix or suffix attached to the root word, or the two words that make up a pound word. Words: motorway, freeway, automobile, underground, subway, etc. Step 3Language pointsWords and Phrases: (以不同語境引出重點(diǎn)詞匯，以提問方式由學(xué)生總結(jié)常見搭配及用法，此為自學(xué)能力的培養(yǎng)，發(fā)現(xiàn)法教學(xué))1. obvious160
